CIA censors whistleblowers but bows down to Hollywood for Zero Dark Thirty

A new Hollywood blockbuster, Zero Dark Thirty, offers a sensationalized version of
how the CIA took down al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. The Central Intelligence
Agency awarded film producers with top-secret information to help with their
movie, but CIA agents aren't actually allowed to speak so openly. Is it alright that
Hollywood is handed classified info while the whistleblowers that condemn the
agency's practices are put behind bars? Retired Colonel Morris Davis weighs in with
how Hollywood is allowed access that other Americans are forbidden from finding
out.

FISA spy bill could be renewed without discussion

The US Senate has the opportunity to hear discussion before a vote on renewing
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, but they might not even bother.
Although reauthorizing FISA and the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (FAA) would
allow the government to warrantlessly wiretap the emails and phones of millions of
Americans, one Republican senator has asked his colleagues on Capitiol Hill to
approve the bill without debate. Will Congress skip discussions in order to renew
FISA for another five years? Liz Wahl speaks with RT producer Adriana Usero about
what the FISA vote means for personal privacy in the US.

Clearly if there is to be a movie based on the laughable story of the ''taking down'' of 11 years already dead Osama Bin Laden then the CIA would be very concerned to contribute to the spin.

After all, the story has more holes in it than a big bag of holes!!

this is 10x as epic as that Tom Hanks movie about living in the airport.

I feel very bad for this character -- lots of this sort of thing happening.
He is one of the lucky few who has a name but not a definite mental illness, lol!

long live truth!

Thanks, truly a memorable speech. As we transition to the new 5,200 year Mayan calendar circle, I hope that many of his sentiments will guide as we struggle to create a bright civilization of beings with free will.

I transcribed what I think are some of the highlights, which will ring quite true to many of us Avalonians:

"Our civilizations is only as strong, as it's ideas are true ... and when our media is corrupt, when our academics are timid, when our history is filled with half truths and lies, our civilization will never be just, it will never reach to the sky."

"Our societies are intellectual shanty towns. Our beliefs about the world and each other have been created by the same system that has lied us into repeated wars, that have killed millions. You can't build a skyscraper out of plasticine, and you can't build a just civilization out of ignorance and lies."

"If you don't speak up, if you give up what is uniquely yours as a human being, if you surrender your consciousness, your independence, your sense of what is right and what is wrong, in other words, perhaps without knowing it, you become passive and controlled and unable to defend yourselves and those your love."

"People often ask, "what can I do?" The answer is not so difficult: learn how the world works, challenge the statements and intentions of those who seek to control us behind a facade of democracy and monarchy. Unite in common purpose, and common principle, to design, build, document, finance and defend, learn, challenge, act, now."

"Every day, ordinary people teach us that democracy is free speech and dissent. For once, we the people stop speaking out and stop dissenting, once we are distracted or pacified, once we turn away from each other, we are no longer free, for true Democracy IS THE SUM, IS THE SUM, of our resistance."
